* Supporting DDQ processes and liaising with external partners
* Providing pragmatic compliance advice to business teams
* Helping build the compliance function, from administrative processes to strategic initiatives
* Acting as the right-hand to the GC & Head of Compliance, supporting both day-to-day operations and longer-term projects
Who They're Looking For
* Qualified Compliance professional with 5–7 years' experience in financial services
* Strong working experience of supporting marketing material from a compliance/audit perspective.
* Comfortable working hands-on, supporting the team on operational tasks while also contributing to strategic planning
* Strong understanding of UK and EU financial regulation, with ability to make independent compliance decisions
* Excited to shape a growing compliance function in a fast-scaling, international environment
* Confident working in an unregulated environment with licensing ambitions
